Sustainability



Recycling

We re-use as much material as possible and seperate the different waste flows from the garden.



Plant protection

We do not use chemical weed killers. Ensuring good, healthy soil and plants can prevent a lot of damage.



Tools

We use battery tools more and more, wich means that noise and CO2 emissions are greatly reduced. We use alkylate petrol instead of regular e5 gasoline.



Knowledge

Our ecological knowledge is up to date and we participate in sustainable trends like smart gardening constructing ‘Sedum roofs‘ and Robot lawn mowers.

Sustainable Design

In our design we account for sustainability. For instance, we incorporate planting and trees in gardens to:

Limit flooding
Give animals, like butterflies, bees and birds, space
Cool the surroundings and absorb CO2 by using trees.
Re-use of present materials in the new garden.

Sustainable Plan

Sustainablity is also explaned in a different way: to maintain your garden in perfect condition with as little maintenance as possible. We pick the planting and trees based on this assumption, so you will always have the flourishing garden as we constructed.

Help us become more sustainable!

Rubens Tuinen attaches great importance to sustainability. A sustainable way of handling the garden and the existing nature & materials, well thought-out management and a ‘green’ vision. We are constantly gathering new knowledge in this discipline. This ensures a truly sustainable gardener and a future-proof garden and environment.

We want to become even more sustainable. Quieter and emission-free- machines and -commercial vehicles are examples, but also informing customers to create awareness is something we believe in. We are constantly improving sustainability behind the scenes! However, this comes at a great monetary cost. You can also help us to become more sustainable, we would much appreciate it!
